I would be down for a $50 buy in. Would probably keep everyones interst knowing there is a nicer payout in the end.

Please let me know if I should speak to my friends. I have two in mind and yes they are both big Clipper fans.

I'm out if it's 50. That's like throwing $50 for me. I'm not the best fantasy footballer. Made my league's playoffs last season though!

Tell them to join topbuzz!

ok 7 spots left, 12 days till draft.

ideally, id go with a $50 buy-in,but since its tough finding players as it is, we'll stay put with a $25 buy-in. the quicker we fill this thing up, the quicker we'll randomize the draft positions and be able to handle all the leaguesafe stuff.

but honestly, if this thing doesn't fill up soon, I'm just gonna join a league that's waiting for me. i honestly don't want to deal with last minute crossing of the fingers.

join up, it'll be fun.

Is the other league also a buy-in? I've played in two leagues before and it's not as strenuous as you might think. Granted you're probably a more intense fantasy player than I and have higher aspirations than the playoffs, but I think you should give us a shot ;D

this is the only league. your experience isn't important, while the league prefers/expects people that know what they're doing and who the players are.

more importantly, as long as you don't abandon your team during the season, its all good. just be active

BINGO!

Is there any chance of making the draft at 8:00? I get out if work at 7:30 and would be great for me to be there for the draft.

Question, I don't live on the West Coast so when you say 6:30PM draft time, is that Pacific Time? If so, that date and time works August 25th 630PM PST as I should be back from an outing I have that day. However if that is like Central or Eastern time, I won't be able to make that time, I MIGHT, but I will probably still be hammered LOL.

BTW did you set up another league with a draft time on the same day and 15 minutes later on like ESPN or another Fantasy Website? I'd honestly suggest this just in case what happened last year happens again this year lol.

yeah its pacific time. 630pm pacific time.

right now we have 10 of 12 spots filled. need 2 more. i REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to play in a 10 man league (not a challenge), so if we can't get those last 2, chances are I'm out.

if anyone has non-CTB members who might be interested, sign them up.

and good call, ill set up another site as a backup with the same draft date/time.

BINGO!

I'm down for any draft after 5PM PST, I'd just really appreciate any draft before 11PM PST as I'll be way too hammered by then to make solid decisions haha.

Hey I didn't see where were supposed to pay. Any chance to post a link to that site here and on the football page? That is, if we are using that one site again? I'd like to pay on Friday or next Friday so I know I'm good.

yeah i don't want people paying before we finalize the 12 roster spots. if we don't get 12 people, chances are the league ain't happening.

but we'll be using leaguesafe (www.leaguesafe.com). its legit. check out the website for more info. - but i'll go into more detail about it when we get 12.

i personally have no problem with it and if it's ok with Amesty_David_Stern, i'll change it. have you signed up? if it's at 6:30pm will you be able to make it? if not, perhaps pre-rank your players and auto draft? or maybe have someone draft for you? (but like i said, ill be glad to change it to 8pm PST if it means no one else drops out because of it)

AMNESTY DS-

are you good with a potential change to 8pm? (flexibility is appreciated)

Yeah 8PM PST is fine. Having to do another like 1130 PST draft was rough last year lol. I think I wasn't the only one on the other side of the country for that draft either. Stupid Yahoo.

Was fun last year, good communication on the league boards as well and some trades. Hate going in leagues where people rarely post anything and it's not really active. Only beef I had was the winner never paid and they just deducted his winnings from the pot. Hopefully, this doesn't happen again.

i posted an invite as a post on the main "official trade" thread on CTB and it was quickly deleted (even though i kindly asked for it to be kept up). THANKS MODS (sarcasm)

2 SPOTS LEFT!

for those of you in the league, ill be posting the randomized draft order (so you can start to plan your draft strategy) and the leaguesafe info.

I always get pumped up for the draft order, then I get extremely disappointed after it's posted lol. I don't even want the 1st few picks either. Meh, at the beginning or at the very end works for me.

Is it me or do I not see a Test System function to see if your computer can run the draft? I really hope my computer doesn't crap out lol but I'd like to test to see if I need to update or download anything.

Seriously? Why don't I plant a big ass CTB banner on the front of of the lawn of your house, say that I asked kindly to have it put there, call it officially Ekker-endorsed, then complain about it when it gets moved to the side yard. WTF?

I have no problem with the fantasy football league, but if you are going to keep bitching about having non-Clipper related posts moved from the Clippers forum- posts that are intentionally put there even though they don't belong there, then I will be forced to trash this entire thread.

I've got the details on how to pay on the league page (we're not using this board for communication anymore). and be sure to do it as soon as you're able- we've got a deadline.

thanks

Lol- okay- I'll go ahead and move it to the bin since you are saying the thread is no longer needed. Funny how the thread was in the "deep basement of CTB" and had no problem getting replies.
